Chapter 2362: Ancient secrets, Xiang Yu returns home
Since Xiang Yu broke through to Grandmaster, although his basic martial arts has not changed over the years, his skills have continued to accumulate, and his strength has maintained a steady upward trend, but the improvement has been relatively small.
Xiang Yu actually knows that he is not the strongest under normal conditions. Those senior masters with hundreds of years of skill are stronger than him, but if he burns up his inner strength, he will be invincible in the world.
Even the Taoist Sanqing Taoist and the Yin-Yang Sect’s Donghuang Taiyi, these seniors who have already reached the pinnacle of great masters, are equally unlikely to be Xiang Yu’s opponents.
Unconsciously, Xiang Yu's goal has changed from being the first among his peers to even surpassing the older generation.
Xiang Yu had always thought so before, until he witnessed Taiyi destroying Shintoism alone and killing two great masters who had burned their inner strength, which made him feel that he still underestimated those seniors.
Yes, Xiang Yu can indeed reach the limit of mortals after burning his internal energy. The combat power he bursts out after burning his internal energy may not be weaker than Taiyi Sanqing, but the premise is that he can burn smoothly and burn to the peak to fight. Only when all the strength is exerted.
If not, Xiang Yu will be like Izanagi and his wife, who will have his Gang Qi armor broken before reaching his peak combat power and die tragically.
Hang Yu watched the whole battle between Taiyi and the four great masters of Shintoism. He was originally going to help, but he didn't expect that the more he watched, the more frightened he became. Taiyi taught him a good lesson.
Taiyi's Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Sword Fingers are too abnormal, as if they were specially created to break the Grand Master's Gang Qi Armor.
Unless Xiang Yu reaches the peak of his combat power, Xiang Yu can be confident that he can defend against him, but if Xiang Yu is in a life-and-death fight, Taiyi will definitely not wait for him to reach his peak.
Such as the Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Sword Finger and the Yin-Yang Heaven-Destroying Sword, Taiyi is certainly not the only one to be able to master these unique skills that specifically restrain the burning internal energy of a great master.
Xiang Yu can guess it with his toes, and he is not inferior to Taiyi. Even the stronger Sanqing Taoist will definitely use similar methods.
With this thought, Xiang Yu only felt that the water in Baijia was so deep. No wonder Guiguzi specifically told him not to provoke Taoists when he left Guigu. It turned out that he was afraid that he would die or not come back.
“Senior Taiyi, have you broken through the Great Master and entered a new realm?” Xiang Yu asked seriously.
As we all know, Grandmaster is the last realm of martial arts. Although Xiang Yu also feels that Taiyi is still at the peak of Grandmaster, the gap between other Grandmasters and him is too big, and they don't seem to be in the same realm at all.
Taiyi's combat performance is more like that of an immortal, while other great masters, even Xiang Yu, are still at the level of mortals.
Taiyi seemed to have guessed that Xiang Yu would ask this question a long time ago. The reason why he let Xiang Yu watch the whole process was actually because he wanted to beat Xiang Yu and let him know that the sky is high and the earth is high.
“Grandmaster is the longest realm of martial arts. Even though I have practiced for nearly a hundred years and reached the peak of Grandmaster thirty years ago, I am still at the Grandmaster realm and have not broken through to a new level.”
“What? Senior, you were already the pinnacle grandmaster forty years ago?”
Xiang Yu was shocked when he heard this, and felt a little disappointed at the same time.
Taiyi was the pinnacle grandmaster forty years ago, but he is still the pinnacle grandmaster now. Does it mean that the end of martial arts is the pinnacle grandmaster?
Xiang Yu hopes that there will be a new realm after the Grand Master, so that his pursuit of martial arts will continue forever.
But even Taiyi, who is gifted by nature, spent forty years unable to break through to a new level. This fully shows that the master of martial arts has come to an end when he reaches the peak. This makes Xiang Yu not disappointed.
“I have been practicing hard for forty years in order to break through the Grand Master. Although I still haven’t succeeded in breaking through, I have also touched the realm after the Grand Master.
This new realm I named it the Xuan Realm, and the realms below the Xuan Realm are all human realms.
Although I have not been able to break through the Grand Master, I am already very close to the Xuan realm. I am between the Xuan realm and the peak Grand Master. This should be called the half-step Xuan realm. "
“Half-step profound realm?”
Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little enlightened. He finally understood why the gap between the other great masters and Taiyi was so big.
Although Taiyi has not reached the Xuan Realm, the half-step Xuan Realm is also a new realm, and it is definitely not comparable to the realm of a great master.
As a Taiyi who is in the half-step Xuan realm, how can it not be easy for someone who is in the Grand Master realm?
"Even Senior Taiyi, you can't break through the Grandmaster. So, the Grandmaster, no, the half-step profound realm, is the end of martial arts?" Xiang Yu asked.
“Boy, let alone the half-step profound realm, even if it is the mysterious realm, it is still not the end of martial arts.
Whether I am a member of the Yin Yang family or a hundred other families, there are records in the ancient books in my collection.
Qi refining was popular during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. At that time, many Qi refining practitioners had transcended the Mysterious Realm, and many of them even lived for hundreds of years, like immortals who lived as long as heaven. "
Hearing this, Xiang Yu suddenly became excited and asked quickly: "Then why are there no Qi practitioners now?"
“The ancient books only say that after a great war that affected the whole world, not only did most of the Qi warriors in the world die, but even the whole world was damaged. No one knows the specific situation.”
…
Xiang Yu took a deep breath. What kind of people are they and what kind of war are they waging that would damage both heaven and earth?
The ones fighting are probably not immortals.
"Since then, this world is no longer suitable for refining Qi, and martial arts has become popular because of this. However, because of the lack of heaven and earth, no one can break through the Grand Master. The limit is the half-step profound realm." Taiyi sighed softly. road.
He never thought that he was inferior to the sages, but the ancients were able to break through the great masters. It took him forty years to break through. This was not because he was not qualified and talented enough, but because the world restricted his growth.
Xiang Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this. If he could, he would rather not know the news, because after knowing it, he would be even more desperate.
The world allows mortals to break through the Grand Master. For warriors, is there anything more desperate than this?
etc…
A flash of light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes. Even if the war last week affected everyone in the world, it is impossible for everyone to perish. Some people must have survived. Then where did these people go?
Xiang Yu quickly asked Taiyi, and Taiyi replied: "I am also very surprised about this. It is impossible for all those Qi refiners to die, but their lifespan is long, and they may even live until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
However, after looking through the classics of various schools of thought, there are few records about them. Only in the Taoist classics, there are a few words mentioned, saying that they have all left this world. "
Xiang Yu was startled: "Left this world? What does this mean? Did he fall? Or?"
“I don’t know. Even if it is taken literally, there is no explanation as to where they went and how they left.
Hundreds of scholars have been investigating for hundreds of years, trying to crack this secret, but they have made no progress.
Until forty years ago, when the old ghost Wang Xu had not been deposed, his ability to calculate astrology was even better than me.
The old man and the old ghost Wang Xuna worked together to make a divination. The divination showed that the appearance of a person in twenty years will bring about great changes in the world that have never been seen in ancient times.
The mystery of the disappearance of the ancient Qi alchemists, how to leave this world, and many other mysteries will all be revealed one by one by this person, and perhaps he will be able to break through the mysterious realm. " Hearing Taiyi's words, Xiang Yu was shocked and asked in a hesitant voice: "Who is this person? "
“It’s naturally impossible to figure out who the person is with this kind of secret.”
Taiyi shook his head: "The old ghost Wang Xu thought it was his apprentice Ying Hao, while Taiqing thought it was his grandson Li Shimin, and Mo Runong and others thought it was Liu Xiu and Liu Ji.
However, Liu Ji was a bit unsatisfied. He was actually killed by Liu Yu, which was really surprising. "
At this time, Xiang Yu's heart felt like it was overturning the river.
Hundreds of scholars have been hiding for hundreds of years, but they suddenly appeared during the Yellow Turban Uprising and selected spokespersons among the princes. It turned out that they were just waiting for one person.
“Senior, the one chosen by your Yin and Yang family won’t be Zhang Jiao, right?” Xiang Yu asked again.
"That's right, I chose it myself, but that guy Zhang Jiao didn't live up to his expectations. Even though he occupied most of the Central Plains, he still couldn't push him into the Han Dynasty. So you, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Ren Hongchang came into the sight of the Yin Yang family again. ”
“At that time, the Yin Yang family was planning to make a choice between the three of you.”
As he said that, Taiyi glared at Xiang Yu and snorted: "But you were arrogant and had a hostile attitude towards the Yin Yang family, so you were kicked out directly."
Xiang Yu suddenly laughed bitterly. At that time, he was indeed very disgusted with the Yin and Yang family. He felt that the Yin and Yang family were a group of magicians. Now it seems that he is still blind.
“After your kid is kicked out, the only people the Yin and Yang family can choose are Zhu Yuanzhang and Ren Hongchang.
What is surprising is that Zhu Yuanzhang obviously has a heroic destiny and has the aura of an emperor, but because of the love between his children, he is willing to succumb to the girl Ren Hongchang.
At that time, everyone in the Yin and Yang family, including me, thought that Ren Hongchang would marry Zhu Yuanzhang, but they did not expect that she would choose Ying Hao and kill Zhu Yuanzhang who was deeply in love with her. Now the Yin and Yang family could only I support Ying Hao. "
At this point, Taiyi sighed and laughed at himself: "I'm really not as discerning as that old ghost Wang Xu. After going round and round, I finally got on that old ghost's pirate ship."
Xiang Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and said: "Now the power of the Central Plains is in Qin. If you put it this way, Ying Hao is the person mentioned in the hexagrams of the predecessors, the one who brought unprecedented changes to the world?"
Taiyi: "They should be inseparable. According to my observation, Ying Hao's actions are the only one that matches the hexagram."
“No wonder Senior Guiguzi and Senior Taiyi spared no effort to help Ying Hao. It’s really not unfair at all for me to lose to him.”
At this point, Xiang Yu frowned again and asked: "But senior, Ying Hao may really be able to bring about great changes in the world, but since he became emperor, a lot of government affairs need to be dealt with, and he has to practice martial arts." I’m already slacking off, I don’t even know how long it will take to break through to the Grand Master, so how can I solve the mystery of breaking through to the profound realm?”
Taiyi rolled his eyes at Xiang Yu: "How does this old man know? That young man Xiang, I want to get rid of you for something."
“The senior has told the junior so many secrets. As long as the junior can do it, he will go through fire and water.” Xiang Yu said decisively.
“Don’t worry, you don’t need to go through fire and water. Just wait until you return to the Central Plains to encourage Ying Hao to practice.”
…”
Xiang Yu's face froze, and he said reluctantly: "Why is this?"
He often exchanges letters with Ying Hao, but when they meet, he always feels awkward. He can't explain the specific reason, so he is not very willing to meet Ying Hao.
“Ying Hao is a hexagram person for the most part, but if you want him to unlock those secrets, you can’t do it without improving your own cultivation level. You must at least have a cultivation level at the level of a grand master.”
“What the junior means is why should the junior urge Ying Hao?”
“I’m afraid you are the only one who can make Ying Hao muster up his energy and practice hard now, Xiang Yu.”
Xiang Yu opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he had to admit that not being able to defeat him with his own hands was probably one of Ying Hao's few regrets.
Taiyi saw that Xiang Yu did not agree immediately, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "This is related to the secret of Xuanjing. It will be useful for your future breakthrough."
“That’s...okay.”
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said, although he was still a little reluctant on the surface, he had another idea in his heart.
Ying Hao, if you are really the one who will bring about great changes in the world, then what’s the point of me, Xiang Yu, doing my best to help you unify the world?
No, it must be you. Except for you who defeated me, no one else is qualified to bring changes to the world.
At this moment, the grudge in Xiang Yu's heart disappeared. Although he had helped Ying Hao before, it was just casually, but now Ying Hao has become the only person he wants to be loyal to, no, to help.
Hang Yu and Tai Yi were exchanging secrets, while Dugu Qiubai and other three masters, as well as other masters, were cleaning the battlefield in the Shinto Palace.
With Taiyi personally taking action, they can only take action.
In the Shinto Palace, there are not only Onmyojis and Shinto believers, but also tens of thousands of servants who specialize in serving the priests.
But now, most of these slaves are buried under the ruins, and they are obviously too dead to die.
After conducting a search, Dugu Qiubai's men found six living masters in the ruins, as well as forty-six super-first-class masters, including generals, ninjas, and onmyojis.
After treating these people to ensure that they would not die, Dugu Qiubai directly sealed everyone's internal energy and imprisoned them. He planned to take them back and try to recruit them.
If all these people can be conquered, it will be a big help to Da Qin.
This chapter can be regarded as a completion of the world view and a foreshadowing of the subsequent plot.
The line of high military force has been set long ago, but if the personal force is too high, the impact on military operations will be great.
Therefore, the level of martial arts in this book has always been at the level of high martial arts and low immortals. The new mysterious realm set in this chapter is almost equivalent to the golden elixir stage in cultivation novels, but it will not appear in this book.
As for Taiyi Taiqing, one person can influence people in the world. In the future, they may be arranged to break the void, so that they will not affect the Tao country.
What do you think of this setting? If you have any different opinions, please leave a message in the book review area as soon as possible.
As for today’s second chapter, I am still writing it, but I probably won’t be able to finish it before twelve o’clock, but I will definitely make it up sooner or later.
